Kingston said that the speed was achieved using the MSI X99 MPOWER motherboard in an eight module, quad-channel configuration along with an Intel Core i7 5820K processor.

This is the first of a few high performance systems we are expecting from Kingston. We are likely to see a few at Computex in Taipei.

On the list of coming attractions are 16GB modules powered by the recently released HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe SSD. A live demo will take place during the HyperX Roadshow Experience from June 4-7, 2015, at the ATT 4 FUN centre, in Taipei.

The average consumer does not need 128GB of RAM so this gear is headed for something businessy. It is unlikely the great washed can afford it either as we would expect some insane pricing to match the speed. Still it is shows that Kingston is still on top of things when it comes to technology.

Kingston has announced several new solid state drives that will be a part of its HyperX lineup, as the Savage SSD series.

To be available in 120, 240, 480 and 960GB capacities, the new Kingston HyperX Savage SSD series is based on a quad-core, eight-channel Phison S10 controller paired up with Toshiba's 19nm MLC NAND. The new HyperX Savage SSD series will be the fastest SATA-based SSD series in Kingston's HyperX lineup and will replace the HyperX 3K SSD lineup.

With the quad-channel Phison S10 controller, the HyperX Savage SSD series will offer sequential transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s for read and up to 530MB/s for write while random 4K performance is set at up to 100,000 IOPS for read and up to 89,000 IOPS for write.

The HyperX Savage is based on SATA 6Gbps interface and a standard 2.5-inch 7mm form-factor. Like other Kingston SSDs, the HyperX Savage will also be available as a stand-alone SSD or with an upgrade bundle kit that includes a 2.5-inch USB 3.0 enclosure, 3.5-inch bracket and mounting screws, SATA cable, hard drive cloning software, screwdriver and a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter.

While Kingston did not reveal any details regarding precise availabilty date or the price a quick check shows it listed for pre-order in retail/e-tail with a price set at €85 for the 128GB model, 135€ for the 240GB one, 265€ for 480GB and 660€ for the 960GB model.

We have been watching the Windows 10 development cycle closely, and over the weekened we got a notification and installed the latest 10061 build.

If you already have Windows 10 preview release on your PC, the next version of the OS will download automatically via the Windows update tool. There are two choices of how it will update - fast will get your first updates when they get available, while slow update will get you a polished version, but at later date. After a saucy 2+ GB download, the machine reboots into install mode and installs the new build. It takes as long as it would be to install it from scratch. The upside is that it keeps all your data and program settings.

Windows 10 automatically applies all your settings and applications, so there's not much to worry about. It's never a very smooth upgrade process, as each time we did the update we had to set up display automatically, as the Intel driver fails to detect the outlines and borders of our Sony TV. Despite the fact that we use the widely used 1920x1080 Full HD resolution connected via HDMI, the Intel driver still messes it up. This is somehow disappointing, but we have been seeing this from the first time we tried build 9841 back in October 2014. We managed to adjust the full screen via overscan in Intel's latest driver.

The new release features updated Mail and Calendar applications with a new interface and improved performance. The Start menu got a new black system theme, and the back theme is also shared by the taskbar and action center. You can now resize the start menu. Until this update you could either make it full screen or standard.

The Mail and Calendar are new, but we still find it funny that the calendar app and the calendar on the task bar are not synced. They are still two separate entities, but the new calendar can set up your meetings just fine.

The mail app also got a new user interface and we did notice that the folder and files icons remained unchanged, still using these questionable colors. Tablet mode also changed and now the Start button, Cortana, and the Task View buttons got bigger in size, making them more "touchable". Tablets smaller than 10 inches will boot in the tablet mode by default, while bigger tablets will allow you to choose how they boot.

We tested the SSD speed that didn’t change much in the last few builds and we can tell you that machine boots fast, reboots fast, and takes a second to launch the browser. Netflix works just fine, too. It takes 12 seconds to boot to the login screen and two to three more seconds to log it and start working. These are not the fastest SSD boot speeds we saw, but it it still enough to make this machine work really fast. We were happy with 388MB/s read and 214.88MB/s write but the 4K and 4K Thrd tests resulted in lower than expected scores.

Microsoft's build conference is starting in two days and we would not be surprised to see some final touches on the Windows 10 beta. Usually one can expect to see the new beta showed at the event and available for download a few days later.

Back in January at CES 2015, we had a chance to see Kingston's HyperX Predator PCIe SSD line and company representatives promised that we should see products in retail by February.

It took a bit longer than expected, but Kingston has now started shipping its high performance SSD drives powered by the Marvell 88SS9293 controller. The Predator PCIe SSD can reach impressive speeds of 1400MB/s read and 1000MB/s, write which is significantly faster than your average SATA 3 SSD.

The drive comes in both 240GB, 480GB capacities and ships with an optional half-height, half-length (HHHL) adapter that will let you plug the drive in the motherboard without an M.2 PCIe slot. You will be able to plug the M.2 drive directly into M.2 PCIe sockets on a modern motherboard that supports this standard. The M.2 PCIe 4x is faster than the traditional M.2 SATA standard and this is one of the reasons why the HyperX Predator PCIe can reach such a high speeds.

This leap in performance will cost you €291 for the 240GB drive with HHHL bracket, while the first listing of the 480GB drive indicates a price of €523,84.

Since this will be one of the fastest storage solutions around, you cannot really complain about the premium price, as it is bound to end up in very fast and expensive systems. On another note, the company's HyperX brand is committed to eSports as it sponsors over 20 teams globally, and is the main sponsor of Intel Extreme Masters.

Kingston’s new HyperX Predator DDR4 modules have set a new memory speed record thanks to Toppc.

The overclocker pushed the memory to a whopping 4351MHz in single-channel mode, more than double the 2133MHz stock clock.

TweakTown reports that it is still unclear what sort of cooling was used, but LN2 is a possibility. The rest of the system included an MSI X99S XPOWER board and a Core i7-5960X processor, working at just 1631MHz in single-core mode, sans HT.

The CPU tweaks and the fact that a single memory module were used suggest the insane clock would be impossible to replicate in a real world scenario, but at least the potential is there.

Kingston HyperX is a strong brand when it comes to a performance storage and memory components, and now the company has refreshed its SSD offering with the Predator line of SSDs.

The Predator is a quite innovative product with support for some of the latest standards including PCIe 4X and M.2 storage standard. Enthusiasts who have M.2 support on their motherboards will be able to use this standard and those with older boards without M.2 will be able to use PCIe 4x.

The drive comes in 120GB to 960GB capacities and will start shipping in February in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB sizes, while the 960GB variant is expected in Q2 2015. The Predator drive uses Marvell’s X4-lane PCIe SSD Controller 88SS9293 that will enable speeds over 1500MB/s read and around 1000MB/s write. These were the numbers we saw at Kingston's CES booth, but you can expect at least 1400MB/s read and 950MB/s write, which is still significantly faster than the average 2.5-inch SSD SATA 6Gbps drive.

This is faster than most drives on the market and an innovative design that enables both PCIe 4X based optional half-height, half-length (HHHL) card and M.2 connector is definitely a refreshing change in this segment.

There is also a Savage line of refreshed HyperX drives called Savage series that will also come to market in the second quarter of 2015. It is based on the Phison S10 controller and we saw it running in Intel's NUC with Intel Core i5 Processor and 2.5-Inch Drive Support (NUC5i5RYH). The Savage line will replace HyperX 3K drives.

ASUS has shown off an early design of a new SATA Express enclosure that will soon come to market, called the ASUS Hyper Express drive. Made in partnership with Kingston, the Hyper Express drive is an SATA Express interface enclosure which features host-agnostic controller with RAID 0 array of SSDs.

As noted by Legitreviews, the ASUS Hyper Express SATA Express enclosure features a RAID 0 controller with two SSDs, in the sample case, mSATA drives. The Asus Hyper Express will apparently be available with either two mSATA or two M.2 SSDs packed in a smaller 2.5-inch enclosure or two 2.5-inch SATA SSDs packed in a 3.5-inch housing.

Legitreviews had a chance to play with the pre-production sample of the new ASUS Hyper Express showing that it managed to get quite close to Asus' performance claims of up to 745/809 MB/s when drive got 704MB/s sequential read and 746MB/s sequential write in the CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3.

Legitreviews reports that Asus Hyper Express are expected in retail within next two months and probably be available with and without actual SSDs in it, offering some choice to buyers.

Memory and SSD manufacturer Kingston has updated their mSATA SSD product line with the addition of 240GB and 480GB capacities to their existing SSDNow mS200 mSATA SSD line. The expanded product line now brings them closer to competing in the market with other mSATA manufactures including Intel, Crucial, and Samsung.

The mSATA drives allow system builders and enthusiasts a cost-effective performance boost, or allow for the development of small form factor systems. The small-form factor of mSATA is perfect for notebook, tablet and Ultrabook PCs, as well as a variety of embedded systems. It can also be used as a caching device with motherboards that support Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) to improve system performance. Kingston's mS200 has read speeds up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 520MB/s.

The 30GB, 60GB, 120GB, 240GB and 480GB mS200 mSATA SSDs are shipped as a caseless, PCB-only design and are backed by a two- or three-year warranty, free technical support. Pricing for the new models have not been announced yet.

Kingston's HyperX division has announced the launch of new HyperX FURY memory lineup aimed at entry-level gamers which will replace the current HyperX blu memory lineup. With an asymmetric and aggressive heatspreader and offering automatic overclocking, the new HyperX FURY lineup should be perfect for those looking to build their own budget-oriented systems.

To be available in 4GB and 8GB single modules as well as 8GB and 16GB kits, the new HyperX FURY is fully Plug and Play (PnP) and it automatically overclocks within the system speed allowance without any manual BIOS tuning. The HyperX FURY lineup will be avialable in 1333MHz, 1600MHz and 1866MHz frequencies with CL 9 and CL 10 latencies at 1.5V voltage.

It will be available in four heatspreader color choices, blue, black, red and white, and features a black PCB which will go well with many custom builds, according to Kingston. Kingston also announced that the HyperX FURY memory lineup will be soon joined by the Hyper FURY SSD.

The entire lineup is backed by a lifetime warranty but Kingston did not shed any light on their price or the availability date.

Kingston has announced a new addition to the SSDNow family of solid state drives, the KC300. To be available in capacities of up to 480GB and both as a stand-alone drive or as an upgrade bundle kit, the KC300 features LSI Sandforce second-generation SF-2281 controller, advance power management and decent performance.

Packed in a 2.5-inch 7mm-thick form factor with SATA 6Gbps interface, the new KC300 line of SSDs will be replacing the V+200 and the KC100 line of drives in Kingston's bussines SSD family. It features enterprise-grade SMART, Data Integrity Protection with DuraWrite technology as well as RAISE support that reduces the number of uncorrectable errors in the drive.

The new KC300 line of SSDs will be available in 60, 120, 180, 240 and 480GB capacities with sequential read and write performance of up to 525MB/s and 500MB/s and PCMark Vantage HDD suite score of up to 57,000. The maximum random 4k read/write performance is at up to 84k/64k IOPS for the 60, 120 and 180GB models, up to 84k/52k IOPS for the 240GB one and up to 73k/32k IOPS for the 480GB model.

The entire line features a three-year warranty and MTBF of 1 million hours. As noted earlier, all capacity options will be available as a stand-alone SSD or as an upgrade bundle kit that includes 2.5-inch USB enclosure, 3.5-inch bracket, HDD cloning software and 7 to 9.5mm adapter.

Unfortunately, Kingston did not shed any light on the actual price or the availability date for the new KC300 SSD series.
